Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Duke is a 15-lb pug mix who has officially retired from chaos. After surviving many rough years in a hoarding house, Duke has decided he’s done with nonsense and is now accepting applications for a peaceful, low-key life where his preferences are respected at all times.
And yes — he has a "few" preferences.
Duke is firmly in his “get off my lawn” era. He prefers:
☀ Sunshine naps (the sunnier, the better)
🛋 Sitting next to you...or on you
🛏 Sleeping in your bed (or at least in your room)
🚶 Walks, walks and more walks
🏡 A quiet home with no other animals
Duke must be your one and only - he has no interest in sharing his space, his human, or his peace. He’s affectionate, loyal, and sweet — as long as you understand that he wants what he wants, when he wants it.
Duke thrives with patient, understanding humans who appreciate a dog with strong opinions and a deep love for routine. He doesn’t need excitement or adventure sports. He needs consistency, calm, and a person who can laugh when he side-eyes them.
Duke isn’t trying to impress anyone. He’s just looking for a soft place to land, a human who loves him and respects his boundaries, and a forever home where he can live out his golden years as he chooses.
If you’re looking for a dog who will happily nap in the sun, snore in your bed, and judge you lovingly from the couch… Duke is ready to move in.
